The summary of the book was unique and it caught my eye. So I started reading. Here's a review of what I think of it.
The book wasn't really THAT interesting for almost the first-half of it, and soon the excitement I had from the synopsis died. I even debated whether I should abandon it. But now, I'm glad I didn't. Because the last 100 or so pages, while they dont quite make up for the rest of the book, do make it a worthy read.
The plot of the book, the story line, it's all great. Lauren Oliver did a great job at creating this whole new world in the dystopian future and hats off to that. All the details about the Book of Shh and all of those cautionary tales and quotes and rules she mentioned in parts of the book really gives you an overall idea about the world that they live in, with it's boundaries and restrictions.
As far as the romance goes, it wasn't on that cliche level which makes it all the better. I'd give it 5 stars, but at first it seemed really boring and dragged on a bit. Though I do recommend it at the same time.
